When strangers add you as his/her contact

Few days ago, I had someone added my Flickr account as her contact. Well, I am not sure whether it is her own real account or not. Probably, it is someone’s account. I assumed that it’s a “she”. I noticed that I was not familar with the name. Okey, I looked at the profile. And, boom! The account has many pornographic material there. And, it seems spammy.

I just quickly blocked her account. I did not have any other reason to accept that. And, probably this is the first person I blocked. I am not a person who put ‘numbers of contact’ as a goal. I prefer to have less contacts rather than having numerous contacts but most of them are stragers. Remember what happened to my Facebook account? Currently, I have still many ’stragers’ there. It is fine if those who added me have a ’safe content’, but I am not comfortable when someone who has pornographic and any other distracting materials added me.

Okey, I blocked that person (as my Flickr contact). According to Flickr, blocking means that they:

• can’t comment on my photos. All comments on my photos that they make are deleted.
• are removed as my contact, and you are removed as theirs.
• can’t add me as a contact again.
• can’t add my photos as favorites. Any of my photos marked as their favorites are removed.
• can’t blog my photos
• can’t add notes or tags. Any notes and tags they added to my photos are removed.
• can’t send me FlickrMail
